Ethereal for OS X 10.4(Tiger) on a G3 iBook

Installed Fink and FinkCommander. From FinkCommander installed
Ethereal, but I was getting errors in execution (/sw/bin/ethereal).
Looked like some library issues. Pulled down the ethereal source and
read the Readme.macos and realized that FinkCommander installed shared
libraries.
Had to install the core libraries, and not the sh ones to get Ethereal
to load, that is

GLib 2.4.0
Pango 1.4.0
GTK+ 2.4.0
ATK 1.6.0
Changed permissions of the bpf (sudo a+r bpf*) devices per
http://wiki.ethereal.com/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges
